Toluidine blue staining images of control (B–B2) and biphasic (G–G2) groups. SO/FG staining images of control (C–C2) and biphasic (H–H2) groups. Collagen II immunohistochemical staining images of control (D–D2) and biphasic (I–I2) groups. Collagen I immunohistochemical staining images of control (E–E2) and biphasic (J–J2) groups.
